The artist approached Powerhouse Arts with a concept for the work, and an interest in exploring different processes, materials and color techniques. The project went through a particularly rigorous research and development phase, which included embroidered, woven and tufted samples produced in a variety of materials.

The final panels were created by tufting both hand and commercially dyed chenille yarns in a loop texture—this is the same process used to make Berber-style carpets. Each panel was then individually bound with an armature wire and hand stitched to a supportive hook and loop backing. This hanging technique allowed the panels to maintain their shape while remaining soft enough to conform to the curved wall of the Center.
